Who is Regan Poole?

Regan Poole is a Welsh central defender, who has made 16 senior appearances for Newport County.

He was born in 1997. Feel old yet?

Poole came through the youth ranks at Cardiff City, before joining Newport as a scholar in 2014.

He had a trial with United later that year, before breaking into the first team at Newport, making his debut aged 16 years and 94 days in a 0-0 draw against Shrewsbury, becoming the youngest player in the club's history.

What will he bring?

While still very young, Poole is a talented centre-half, exemplified by the fact United decided to take him to Old Trafford in the summer window.

Newport coach Mike Flynn is backing him to be a success, saying: "He's very good on the ball. He's got a great spring on him, he's fit, he's strong.

"He's got most of the attributes and I think he can go on and become a top player."

Is this the first time he's been picked?

But it is another good sign for the youngster, who is beginning to make inroads at senior level despite his tender years,

Should Wales fans be excited?

If you can't get excited about a 17-year-old deemed good enough by Manchester United, what can you get excited about?

The defender made six appearances for Wales U17s, and is likely to progress through the age groups for his country.

His debut for the youth side was in a 2-1 victory over Montenegro in Minsk.
